Got a sweet tooth? You’ve got to try these no-bake Banana Snickers Bites! A fun spin on the classic candy bar, made with just 5 ingredients, vegan and GF!

These NO BAKE Banana Snickers Bites are a healthy sweet treat that tastes like candy

It's funny how we get strange things from our parents. Like Snickers. My mom looves Snickers bars and it has always been my candy bar of choice as well.

One of my favorite ways to eat a Snickers bar is actually frozen. If you haven’t tried it—oh jeez—it’s amazing! We used to get them at the beach and it was the most refreshing treat ever. Definitely the kind of snack that makes you feel like a kid again.

Instead of reaching for a frozen Snickers bar (tempting, I know), we’re putting a fun spin on it with No-Bake Snickers Banana Bites. Same vibe, just homemade and oh-so good!

So if we're breaking down the actual anatomy of a Snickers bar, here's what we're working with:

1. Peanut butter nougat
2. Caramel
3. Roasted Peanuts
4. Chocolate Coating

And we’re building all four layers from scratch, our way!

First up we've got the peanut butter nougat. My solution? Sliced bananas and peanut butter! Which we freeze to give that nice creamy texture!

Our next layer to worry about is caramel. Vegan caramel can be a tiny bit tricky finicky and I wanted to also give you a treat that was frozen and no bake, so we're resorting to date caramel.

We're using soaked Medjool dates which taste remarkably like caramel!

Medjool dates are amazing in no-bake desserts because they're sticky, super sweet and they usually they help to bind things together. But as a caramel? Holy deliciousness!

Final step…the chocolate!

I simply melted some dark chocolate chips together and then dunked the frozen banana bites in that melty goodness. Topped with chopped roasted peanuts for some added crunch and what do we have?

NO BAKE SNICKERS BITES! Just a handful of ingredients, no oven required, and all the delicious layers you love.

Now this is a dessert that everyone will love—adults, kids, and everyone in between!

Can you see all those amazing layers!? SO. DAMN. GOOD. These are definitely a must-try for all you candy lovers out there!

10 medjool dates

Add the dates into a bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside for 15 minutes.
